Good morning all. I hope to learn about GMOs today. Never even heard of it.
Charity,
There is so much to learn about GMO’s. My husband who was not on board with me about organics is now after reading about what they have been doing to the crops and how it can effect us in the long run (as he stated to me. It is not effecting us today but will effect our sons children and so forth).
Hello 🙂 I’m not sure what to expect, but interested to see what will be happening!

Hello everyone!! I am looking forward to everyone’s tips to avoid GMO’s.
hello
Morning today. It is the first day of Spring but the sun has not appeared today and it is chilly. Will this winter ever end!
I am beginning to wonder the same thing. But we do have some sunshine in TN. Hop on over!
Im getting first grandbaby in Aug, Im amazed at all the new products there is for babies now days. Its over whelming to start looking at all the new products.
I agree!! Its tough to decide on what products are best to use/safe to use!
Congratulations on the new grand baby. You will love being a grandmother. I started looking into baby things when I found out I was going to be a new great grandmother (in May). I too, am amazed at the new products out there. Things have certainly changed since I was a new mother — over 40 years ago. There is a lot to learn but at least we now have these blogs and the knowledge and resources, literally at our finger tips.
Hello, I’m here!
Good morning
I think I did this totally backwards. LOL First timer.

Babo Botanicals have some amazing products.
You know I’m in! 🙂
Great prizes, can’t wait to try the products
Those look amazing!
I just joined the party yesterday I seen it and was happy to see somw baby products
thanks
These GMO products are important to me to use on children because we are clogging their bodies up with so many artificial chemicals in all of our foods and products we need to start to cleanse it out of their systems. This would be a good start.
I totally agree with you. The products that are on the market are not the same as they were 30 years ago when I was a child. There is more added crap in it now!
They are Awesome and I am expecting 2 more grand children soon 🙂
Congratulations on the 2 new grandchildren. How exciting! I love babies. I am expecting my first great grandchild in May. I will be watching her while her mother goes to school. I am trying to learn all I can about what’s new out there and what is frightening for our children.
Wonderful prizes. I have been looking for more GMO free products!
I joined can’t wait for the party to start
Great prizes!!
Awesome!!
Those look like great products. We’re really trying to do no GMOs as much as possible
Awesome prizes ty 🙂
I will have to make note of this party on Monday. I can’t forget!!!
I would love to win any of these. I am just finding out about GMO and how harmful it is
The sunscreen looks amazing.
Would love the Babo Botanicals swim line for my little swimmer. The less chemicals used on his skin, the better.
Happy Fourth Birthday Babo Botanicals So excited to learn more about your products.

What is GMO? How to Avoid it?
GMO = Genetically Modified Organisms
What To Do?
• You may be interested to find out how Wheat & Poison are related in this article. Simply stunning. Watch a quick video there as well!
• Come over here and share what you think.
yes
Anything that is genetically modifies is not good!
GMO(genetically modified organisms) are foods that has been inserted with genetic material from another species in order to give them certain desirable properties. Then how to avoid them by buying organic foods, look for no- GMO certification, and avoid processed foods.
You have to be careful because even some foods that are listed as organic can contain GMO’s in it.
GMO’s are scary, and I 100% support any responsible company that puts customers health first
I now understand what GMO is and why it’s not good for you. Wheat and poison I had no Idea kind of scary.
gmo’s are bad and my son has eczema so its hard to find products for him that wont irritate his skin
I have a niece with similar issues so I am hoping to identify some solutions or alternative products for her to use!
This is crazy i never knew about this. I respect they are thinking about the health of people. I hardly eat wheat bread. You would be surprise on the things they put in foods and don’t tell you. This is important to know because we as a whole country is trying to stop or find ways to stop obesity.
It’s not just in wheat it is in corn as well. There are tons of products on the market that contain corn in it and they too can be GMO.
This is really scary, I always assumed that wheat was better for you. Now I definitely have to think twice about what I feed my family.
Definitely shocked by this! I always thought wheat was the healthier option but maybe not!
It is not just in wheat it is in corn as well!
Heck, there was just a article out recently that GMO alfalfa was approved to be sent out even though it was not test properly. The alfalfa is to given to the animals that we the people consume.
It’s very scary to learn how many products that we use and consume are effected by GMO’s. Very eye opening 🙁
yes it is so scary what they put in our food and products that we use everyday I have to say I live where we can have our own garden and plant our own food and we stay away from all the pesticides but you can always avoid the GMO they are in every thing I think the health of our children has changed from all this bad stuff they put in our food think about autism 1-88 of kids has autism not saying this is causing it or not but it sure is on the rise
There is definitely a environmental factor in children being dx with problems you rarely saw 30 years ago, even 20 years ago.
With all my health problems I avoid anything that is not good for me.
Just the name GMO sounds scarey! Never realized how many products, especially corn based, are GMO!
Oh wow i did not know that that’s crazy and here i thought wheat was healthy fir you i need to cut out the weay in my house
Sarah,
It is not just in wheat it is in corn as well and some fruits and veggies are GMO. Your best bet it to buy organic when looking at veggies and fruit. The other stuff just be careful because even though it may state organic it may contain GMO’s.
What about the fruits and veggies by local farming found at your local markets can i gwt gmo free things thete or do i have too look somewhere special i always thought by buying from the growier i was safe
Sarah,
Ask the farmer if they use GMO free seeds.
I never knew much about GMO, till last year. I was shocked to find out about it. I guess I shouldn’t be though. I try to buy foods that do not have GMO’s in them. I don’t want my kids eating stuff with that crap in it. I wish I could my own food.
That is scary!. I want to try the 30 days wheat free. That would be difficult though.
Donna,
You would also have to cut out products that contain corn as well, as corn is GMO.
I really didn’t knoq what gmo was till someone told me recently its really scary I try to avoid by buying stuff without gmo
We’re trying our best to avoid GMOs
The video was very knowledgeable. Did you notice how much info has been coming out about a lot of supposed healthy things now?
Rebecca,
This stuff is scary. With all the years those huge industries were trying to come up with a “sturdy crop” of grains and vegetables and fruit and what-not – only to find out that –>
• BEES are dying –> no pollination, no food, no life
• PEOPLE developing diseases that cannot be treated with available means
And that we may end up on the tip of extinction
Have you noticed cancer was rarelly hard of untill recently now its like an epidemic could some of the forms of cancer have to do with what we are eating think about it its really scary
Yes it all is for sure.
It is just awful what they have been doing all these yrs. too and a lot more mental issues if you think about it.
GMO’s are genetically modified via insertion or modification of the normal (wild type) genetic makeup. Long term effects are not understood and ultimately these food items should undergo further testing before they are released to the public. I am not completely against their use, just wish there was more information available on their long term effects.
One word MONSANTO!!!
Definitely an eye opener!
A little scary, every time I think I’m making the right decisions for my family I see something like this.
DarcieN,
The best way to make the right decisions for you and your family is to educate yourself. But remember you are doing what you think is best for your family not anyone else.
Here is a list of the Scary Seven to avoid:
1. High Fructose Corn Syrup
2. Trans Fats
3. Artificial Flavors
4. Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)
5. Artificial Colors
6. Artificial Sweeteners
7. Preservatives
Interesting article about Corn: SYNGENTA PULLS CONTROVERSIAL GMO CORN OUT OF CANADIAN MARKET
It is scary what we put into our bodies that are bad for us.
